Beautiful Crown Ducal Blue Chintz Exotic Bird Florida Teapot 4 ? Cup

Vacation Alert: I will be leaving for a short vacation on Thursday, May 24 and returning late on Monday, May 27.  I will answer any email when I return.

This is a beautiful Crown Ducal chintz teapot. I have a chintz reference book but could not decide the correct name of this beautiful pattern. The teapot is free of any chips or cracks. It measures just under 4 inches tall to the top of the rim. It is about 8 inches at the widest spot. There is some discolored crazing on the inside. There is a little bit of overall light crazing.

Please study the pictures as they are part of the description also.  Please send an email if you see something that I have not described.  If you use an IPhone, please scroll into the description to see all of the pictures.

98% of my items are double boxed.  Tiny Tamper Evident stickers are used.  GooGone can routinely remove the powdery residue.   SHIPPING: The actual shipping cost is shown on the postage label on the package.   Shipping charges are based on actual weight (after packing) and destination. I do insert insurance coverage into my costs.    It is all an estimate.  If you wait for me to send the invoice once the auction has finished,  it is then the Actual shipping cost and insurance value within cents.     I use USPS-- Priority Mail or First Class (if the item is very light) and Parcel. Because there is a surcharge on larger sized boxes that go to zone 5 through 8 (I am in Zone 1) I will use Parcel Post which takes about 7 days but is considerably inexpensive compared to Priority mail on large items.  International Buyers – Please Note: I use only Priority Mail or Express.   Priority Mail generally runs about $25.00 to $40.00 on one of my items.   As of 4/9/12, insurance is not available on items going to Priority to the United Kingdom.  Insurance can be purchased on Express shipping.
